Zucchini alla scapece

Zucchini alla scapece is a traditional dish originating from Naples. It's made with a combination of large slices of zucchini, olive oil, mint, garlic, salt, pepper, and wine vinegar. The zucchini slices are fried in olive oil until golden and layered in a serving dish.

The mint leaves, garlic, and seasonings are placed between each layer, and the dish is then drizzled with wine vinegar that was cooked with a bit of olive oil. Before serving, the dish is chilled, and it is then served as an accompaniment to meat or fish dishes.

The words alla scapece in the name of the dish are derived from escabeche, a Spanish term for marinating ingredients with vinegar.
